SLAYER
NECROPHILIAC
From their '85 album 'Hell Awaits'
Tabbed by: Jason Mathie
Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca
Classic Slayer tune.
Comments:
I will only show the necessary strings throughout this tab.
Notation explanation:
|---------|
|--3tr4---| Trill. Hammer on and off the 4th fret very quickly.
|---------|
|-------|-------////----|-------| This means repeat the last
|-------|----*-////-----|-------| four measures.
|-------|-----////-*----|-------|
|-------|----////-------|-------|
Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length. So ---- is one beat.
Sometimes there's a lot of double digit fret positions or notation
symbols so I have to stretch it out more. When that happens I'll use
8 dashes one beat.
Guitars are tuned to Eb. On this album, opposite to all the others,
King is the LeftGtr and Hanneman is the RightGtr.

Play Riff A 4x with lyrics:
Mortuaries dead of night My body starts to rise
In my mind the horror lives To feel death deep inside
Relentless lust of rotting flesh To thrash the tomb she lies
Heathen whore of Satan's wrath I spit at your demise
Play Riff B, with this alternate second ending:

Satan's cross points to hell The earth I must uncover
A passion grows to feast upon The frozen blood inside her
I feel the urge, the growing need To fuck this sinful corpse

Lost souls of the dead
Form legions that burst through Hell's gates

To avenge the raped corpse from the grave
Blood of one mortal man

Fate of a frenzied lust
Lucifer takes my dark soul
